We write sing-along song. We teated ourselves on YouTube last year, & results were phenomenal. These led me here. We are ready to produce quantity, quality kids' songs, animated singalong songs. to a global mar]ket where every competitors think fun is about learning. It's not. Sometimes kids just need to sing.
